In a store, there are three types of cheese: white, swiss, and blue cheese. Each cheese is packaged, and there are 200 grams of cheese in each package. The package prices are $5 for white cheese, $6 for swiss cheese, and $8 for blue cheese. Miley needed to get some for her party, and she decided to buy 5 packs of swiss cheese, 600 grams of blue cheese, and one-third less white cheese. How much did she need to pay for all the cheese?

For the swiss cheese, Miley paid 5 * 6 = $

<<5*6=30>>30. 600 grams of blue cheese means 600 / 200 = <<600/200=3>>3 packages. So for the blue cheese, Miley paid 3 * 8 = $<<3*8=24>>24. One-third of the blue cheese means 1/3 * 600 = <<1/3*600=200>>200 grams. So Miley bought only 600 - 200 = <<600-200=400>>400 grams of white cheese. Which means 400 / 200 = <<400/200=2>>2 packages. So for the white cheese, Miley paid 2 * 5 = $<<2*5=10>>10. So in total for all the cheese, Miley paid 30 + 24 + 10 = $<<30+24+10=64>>64. #### 64 Freddy is calling his family on New Year's Eve. He calls his dad, who lives in the same city as him, and they talk for 45 minutes. Then he calls his brother, who lives on the other side of the world, and they talk for 31 minutes. Local calls cost 5 cents a minute, while international calls cost 25 cents a minute. How many dollars did Freddy spend calling his family on New Year's Eve? At 5 cents a minute, calling his father cost Freddy 5* 45 = <<5*45=225>>225 cents. At 25 cents a minute, calling his brother cost Freddy 25 * 31 = <<25*31=775>>775 cents. Adding the cost of calling his father and brother, we find that Freddy paid a total of 225 + 775 = <<225+775=1000>>1000 cents. Since each dollar has 100 cents, Freddy paid 1000 / 100 = <<1000/100=10>>10 dollars #### 10 Ms. Alice can grade 296 papers in 8 hours. How many papers can she grade in 11 hours? First you must recognize that the problem involves finding the rate of how fast Ms. Alice can grade papers. To find how many papers she can grade in 11 hours, it would be useful to first find out how many papers she can grade in one hour. To do so, divide 296 papers by 8 hours, 296/8, to get 37. Therefore, Ms. Alice can grade 37 papers in one hour. To find out how many papers she can grade in 11 hours, multiply the number of papers she can grade in one hour by 11. 37 * 11 gives you <<37*11=407>>407. Ms. Alice can grade 407 papers in 11 hours. #### 407 On a moonless night, three fireflies danced in the evening breeze. They were joined by four less than a dozen more fireflies, before two of the fireflies flew away. How many fireflies remained? Four less than a dozen is 12-4=<<12-4=8>>8. The three fireflies were joined by four less than a dozen more fireflies, for a total of 3+8=<<3+8=11>>11 fireflies. Two flew away, leaving 11-2=<<11-2=9>>9 fireflies remaining. #### 9 For every sandwich that he eats, Sam eats four apples. If he eats 10 sandwiches every day for one week, how many apples does he eat? Ten sandwiches every day for one week is 7*10 = <<7*10=70>>70 sandwiches. For every sandwich that Sam eats, he eats four apples, and since he ate 70 sandwiches, he ate 70*4 =<<70*4=280>>280 apples. #### 280 It was reported that 2000 cases of Coronavirus had been confirmed in the state of New York in May 2020. There was half the number of cases in California, which had 400 more cases than the state of Texas. What's the total number of cases that had been confirmed in all of these states? If California had half the number of Coronavirus cases in New York, then the number of cases was 2000/2 = <<2000/2=1000>>1000 cases. California had 400 more cases than the state of Texas, thus Texas had 1000-400 = <<1000-400=600>>600 cases. The total number of Coronavirus cases in all of the three states is 600+1000+2000 = <<600+1000+2000=3600>>3600 cases. #### 3600 Jack has 42 pounds, 11 euros, and 3000 yen. If there are 2 pounds per euro and 100 yen per pound, how much does Jack have in yen? First convert the euros to pounds: 11 euros * 2 pounds/euro = <<11*2=22>>22 pounds. Then add that amount to the amount Jack has in pounds: 22 pounds + 42 pounds = <<22+42=64>>64 pounds. Then convert the pounds to yen: 64 pounds * 100 yen/pound = <<64*100=6400>>6400 yen. Then add that amount to the amount Jack has in yen: 6400 yen + 3000 yen = <<6400+3000=9400>>9400 yen. #### 9400 Kim is an office manager. Every morning she spends 5 minutes making coffee, 2 minutes per employee getting a status update, and 3 minutes per employee updating payroll records. If there are 9 employees in the office, how long does Kim's morning routine take? First find how many minutes Kim spends on each employee: 2 minutes/employee + 3 minutes/employee = <<2+3=5>>5 minutes/employee Then multiply that time by the number of employees to find the total time spent on status and payroll updates: 5 minutes/employee * 9 employees = <<5*9=45>>45 minutes Finally, add that time to the time spent making coffee to find the total time: 45 minutes + 5 minutes = <<45+5=50>>50 minutes #### 50 Three companies, A, B, and C, each purchased 10 ad spaces on a newspaper, with each ad space having a size of 12 foot by 5-foot rectangle. If each square foot ad was charged at $60, how much money did the three pay for the ads combined? A size 12 foot by 5-foot rectangle ad takes 12*5 = <<12*5=60>>60 square feet since the area of a rectangle is l*w. If each company bought 10 ad spaces, the total area that their ads took is 60*10 = <<60*10=600>>600 square feet. If each square foot of ad space was charged at $60, 600 square feet of ads cost $60*600 = $<<60*600=36000>>36000 If all three companies each purchased an equal number of ad space, together they paid $36000*3 = $<<36000*3=108000>>108000 #### 108000 In a bowl of fruit, there are 2 bananas, twice as many apples, and some oranges. In total there are 12 fruits in the bowl. How many oranges are in the bowl? In the bowl, there are twice more apples than bananas, so there are 2 * 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 apples. That means there are 12 - 4 - 2 = <<12-4-2=6>>6 oranges in the bowl. #### 6
